She sneered disdainfully and continued, "Since Censor Sun is so righteous, if I don't agree, it would seem that I don't know the big picture.
I will give Censor Sun a chance to make his name in history. If you can convince all coal merchants in Daxia to agree to sell honeycomb briquettes for only ten cents a piece, I will reveal the recipe for honeycomb briquettes."
At the end, she looked at Sun Yue sarcastically and said, "Sun Yushi, whether the people of Daxia can use cheap and easy-to-use honeycomb coal now depends entirely on you.
You care so much about the people, I believe you will work hard to persuade the coal merchants and will never let me down, don't you think?"
As soon as she said this, the hall suddenly became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Almost everyone looked at Sun Yue.
Sun Yue couldn't help but smile bitterly and bowed deeply to the princess: "Please forgive my incompetence."
"Can't Censor Sun do it?" The Princess sneered disdainfully, "I thought Censor Sun cared about the people, but it turns out he's just a fame-seeker like Xie Yun!
You are unwilling to give anything for the people, but with just a few words, you force me to cut my flesh and bleed, and pay real money. How ridiculous is that? "
She paused after she finished speaking, and seeing Sun Yue's grim expression, she quickly asked, "Isn't Censor Sun going to get so angry that he'll commit suicide like a woman and put me and Your Majesty in an unjust position?"
Sun Yue was choked and speechless. After a moment of silence, he said, "... Your Highness, don't worry. I am not a woman and will remain useful..."
The eldest princess suddenly asked, "Continue to seek fame and reputation?"
Sun Yue: “…”
How could he not know when the eldest princess became so difficult to deal with?
The eldest princess continued, "I will build a charity hall in the future to help the poor people.
All coal merchants who want the formula of honeycomb coal can also go to Taiping Coal Mine Company to purchase and learn it.
This palace is not heartless and greedy. I also hope that the people of Daxia can be happy and healthy, and have enough food and clothing.
But if anyone thinks that I am easy to bully and forces me to cut flesh and bleed, then don't blame me for being rude!
After all, I have a mouth and am a living person, not a clay statue in a temple. I can't just swallow it and let others bully me!
Since Censor Sun had a sense of justice and could not bear to see the people suffer, he could use his salary to buy honeycomb coal and give it to the poor people.
Or, we can persuade the wealthy families in the city to donate. I believe that with Censor Sun's eloquence, he will surely be able to convince those wealthy families and truly seek benefits for the poor people."
Sun Yue bowed deeply again. "Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness. I appreciate your guidance. I will keep it in mind and remember it at all times."
"As long as you don't hold a grudge against me."
The eldest princess smiled and refused to suffer any loss.
When Emperor Taihe saw that things were almost done, he asked the eldest princess to see the empress dowager, then he reprimanded his ministers and announced the adjournment of the court.
After leaving the court, he ran to see Concubine Jiang in a happy mood.
While eating his favorite snacks, he told Concubine Jiang what had just happened.
"It's a pity that my beloved concubine didn't see Sun Yue's expression at that moment! He was actually speechless and tongue-tied by what the imperial sister said. It was totally unlike him!
I have been on the throne for many years, and this man has always been smelly and hard, like a stone in a pit. I have never seen him like that.
That fat girl from the Xie family is truly a lucky star. Not only did she help the capital city dig out coal mines, but now even the emperor's younger sister is becoming more and more arrogant!"
Imperial Concubine Jiang smiled charmingly, "That child is indeed a lucky star, but it's a pity that she is too young, otherwise I would really like to bring her into the palace to stay often."
Emperor Taihe immediately said, "She is not a child anymore. If my beloved concubine likes her, just send someone to bring her to the palace."
Imperial Concubine Jiang shook her head and said, "No, I have experienced the pain of losing my child. How can I force it on others now?
What's more, Xie Xiu was able to pass the provincial examination and become a top scorer, so he should have a good chance of becoming a Jinshi in the next spring examination.
Now there are only a few months left until the Spring Examination. Since the child is a blessed one, it would be better to let her stay at home and bring more prosperity to Xie Xiu.
